BF6 Crashing whole PC, what is this error code?

Hi, I need a dev to let me know and many others what this means? I've tried everything, the beta played perfectly but since the launch of BF6 I've had nothing but dramas. First I purchased it on EA ...

I found my fix 100%. it's a BIOS issue that breaks the secure boot encryption key, that in game will block the game or anything on the PC from accessing the memory.
If a BIOS flash doesn't fix it which it, 100% guaranteed fix is removing your CPU and then re installing into the socket. The secure boot keys store something in the CPU somehow or in the chipset and only removing the CPU will fix it.
I even believe I know how it's caused or at least how I caused it.
I can enable XMP but only up to 2700Mhz from 2100Mhz (no longer can reach 3200Mhz) since the bios security fixes.
It worked fine but for at least a week or two and the issue came back a second time when I put my PC to sleep and after waking it up I played the game, the XMP has to be applied at boot, so there is a conflict in the memory addresses or something like that, Once you do this it's broken and will constantly crash, barely able to play. Removing the CPU will fix it even without resetting the bios.
Now the game never crashes and I'm running my 10700k at 5Gmz just now without XMP..

AstrixAU Failure.Exception.Code
Value: 0xc0000005 is a memory error.

Meaning the memory isn't stable and is corrupting data on the memory sticks and causing errors.

Run HCI MemTest to test the memory for errors.

https://hcidesign.com/memtest/

Open Windows Task Manager and check how much available memory there is.

Open multiple MemTest windows. Have each MemTest window scan 3000MB of memory.

Never let the available memory in Windows Task Manager reach 0. Always leave at least 1GB of available memory because if it reaches 0 then MemTest will start testing the Windows page file on the SSD.

Yeah I've done mem test and it was fine, I believe more than ever it's related to secure boot keys and BIOS. I noticed again my windows hello pin didn't work and errored out, that is tied to secure boot. I tried playing and couldn't even finish a round.
Looks like my secure keys aren't saving. I didn't reset to default before playing that most likely would fix it but I'm going to disable secure boot and re flash my BIOS. I did get it fixed for over a month so maybe me applying XMP eventually messed it up with the new update even though it was fine for ages. If I fix the BIOS issues it should save the keys and not require constant re setting secure keys manually as they should save if its not corrupted.
The errors with it not being able to use my pin to log into windows is the biggest clue.

My memory is never even close to being used. the secure boot key issues just blocks access to memory it's not out of memory,
